This could be moot if the magic base stat for Gremory is 5 or more higher than Mortal Savant, Dark Knight or Holy Knight (The master classes with the different tomefaires). The way I see it "-faire" skills are designed to encourage specialization, eg Mortal Savant is disadvantaged using dark or white magic, and should stick to black magic. However, Gremory is a magic generalist and I wouldn't be surprised if she had the highest magic base of any class. Not to mention having the uses of every spell doubled would let, say Lysithea, use Hades Ω and Abraxas (2 base uses each) more liberally, which would also increase her effective damage output.

Yeah, here's a clip showing Sylvain's budding talent in reason: https://youtu.be/15QTfjN2n8o?t=3613

I calculated the average stats for all the characters at level 40 (I don't know if that's the level cap or not, I just picked it). I included results for if Cyril has Aptitude.

Has anyone compiled a list of what abilities and combat arts are granted by mastering each of the classes yet?

I completely agree with that guideline. Can we confirm that the levels of recruitable NPCs (students, faculty, knights etc) scale as the story progresses? If that's true, then Cyril may still function as an Est but instead of levels, it would be skill levels. It would seem that faculty and knights will have the easiest time to reach Master Classes.

If you go by base stats at level 1, then that would only capture Lorenz. However, I think there will be some characters with enough strength/magic for switching from one to the other to be occasionally advantageous.

It's possible. I guess I want to hold out hope that classes like Hero, Assassin, and Swordmaster can still be viable. Mortal Savant is cool and all, but I don't know if it feels like a worthy replacement to all 3 of those.

I am skeptical of this only because of the stat charts provided on the official Japanese website: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/anvya/pc/class/details.html?id=28 The advanced classes are all reaching the maximum level on the chart and have run out of room to expand into. Previously, each tier has stretched the maximum for any particular stat just a level further, but the ceiling was hit with Advanced classes. I suspect that the master classes will have overall "better" stats, but that they will still be comparable to advanced classes. For example, the Great Knight may have the defense and hp of the Fortress Knight, and the overall well rounded stats of the paladin in other areas while sharing their terrible speed. So, it may be technically better, but not so much that it renders a paladin useless. The Mortal Savant may take the speed and strength of the swordmaster and add on top a high magic stat to use reason with, but I suspect they will be comparable as sword users. I could be off, but that is my hunch

The word Gremory has reference to demonology, being some demon that appears in the form of a beautiful woman. I am betting that this class is a successor to the witch and will have rewarp as a class ability.

I have a prediction for the available hero's relics. Assuming crests are analogous to holy blood from Geneology of the Holy War in that they grant the ability to use the games "legendary" weapons, we may have some hints on what weapons will be available to a few of the characters in the Black Eagles. Three Black Eagles students that we know of are descended from Saints that appear as statues in the monastery. Based on the weapons that these statues are depicted wielding (in Cichol's and Cehlenn's cases I inferred axe and lance respectively based on the renown bonuses they grant), we can derive the hero's relics these characters may have access to. Ferdinand - Cichol - Axe Bernadetta - Indech - Bow Linhardt - Cethlenn - Lance ??? - Macuil - Sword You may remember that in the tree house video, we were shown Linhardt being trained in lances to be a cavalier even though that clearly wasn't a natural fit for his talents. Likewise, we see Ferdinand trained in axes and class-changed to a brigand. I believe that the showcaser, who mentioned having played through the game previously, knew about the hero's relics they would later get and was training them accordingly. Just a guess though, we'll have to wait and see obviously.

My brother just ordered a game cartridge for Binding Blade, supposedly in English off of ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281945381708?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Is there anyway this could be legit? Looks like a scam to me.

I had the same thing happen. Does anyone know the time it is supposed to unlock? Is it midnight central time?

Korean uses a very similar system of honorifics and nowadays it is common for children to drop the honorifics with siblings and even parents depending on the family, but back in the old days honorifics were commonly used for older siblings. I assume Japanese wouldn't differ too much.
